Step 2 – Removing the Remote
Once you’ve identified the remote origin you want to remove (e.g., “origin“), use the command `git remote remove <remote_name>`. Replace `<remote_name>` with the actual name of the remote you want to delete.
git remote remove <remote_name>

After executing this command, Git will no longer track the remote origin for your local repository. However, it’s essential to note that this action does not delete any branches or data from the remote repository. It simply disconnects the local repository from its remote counterpart.
